DAYTON — A former clerical employee in Dayton’s law department is under criminal investigation
for theft in office.

The theft of city funds was found in early December after an internal review, City Manager Tim
Riordan said in a statement. He said the unidentified employee was put on unpaid administrative
leave and subsequently was fired.

The city didn’t disclose the amount at issue or other details. Riordan said officials don’t want
to jeopardize the criminal investigation by local police.

He said Dayton will do its best to recover any missing money and will institute new procedures
in an effort to prevent such abuse.
